I hate everybody in Nashville who went to the Justin Timberlake concert over the weekend. HATE THEM. The singer, who's always been vocal about his admiration for country superstar Garth Brooks, brought the legend out onstage to surprise the audience with a duet of "Friends in Low Places," and what went down was EPIC.

Any day that the Backstreet Boys announce a new tour is a great day, but when they announce a North American tour to support one of their best albums ever, with Avril fucking Lavigne as a special guest, well, today just became the best day of my life. A…

Sunday night, I had the privilege of seeing Kanye West in concert at Madison Square Garden. Creative and sonically amazing and fantastical ... BUT YOU GUYS, IT WAS ALSO KIND OF BIZARRE. There was someone dressed in a monster suit, and a volcano which exploded halfway through the show, and women with nylons pulled over…

I used to pretend to like summer music festivals, but then I realized they're actually closer to my idea of hell than my idea of fun. Artist Chris Melberger designed this parody music festival poster that paints a painfully accurate picture of the music festival experience ($10 beers! Kids on drugs!), and the random…

Yes, you read the headline right. No, this is not a drill. Yes, this is real life. No, you're not dreaming. Three of the most amazing boy bands of yesteryear are joining forces for a summer tour. On yesterday's episode of the "The View," the New Kids On The Block made the bombshell announcement that…

It's a well-known law of physics that if you hold a Madonna concert in LA, celebs will attend in droves. Her Madgesty's show at the Staples Center last night was no exception, and celebs like Jessica Alba, Emma Roberts, Robyn, and even my favorite Backstreet Boy showed up to cheer her on. So,…

I was telling Ami about an awkward concert experience I had with a guy friend recently, and she was like, "You know, I've had so many awful concert mishaps, and most of them involve a guy." Turns out everyone on the Frisky staff has had at least one concert ruined by a dude, and the…

Last Friday, my childhood BFF Brittany and I reunited to take a road trip to the New Kids On The Block/Backstreet Boys concert in a city 150 miles north of ours. I say "road trip" but it was more of a religious pilgrimage to worship at the altar of AJ McLean's facial hair (if you're…

There is a dangerous outbreak on the loose. Lucky for us, it only affects musicians. A rash of bands and performers have been canceling dates or entire tours for a variety of reasons, with scheduled dates in the U.S. suffering the most terminations. U2 has called off the North American leg of their tour to…

"I heard you get mad. You're a little pissed off I understand. However, I thought you would enjoy the montage. I humble myself and thank you for being so good over the years. Well, I'm here now and have even changed my clothes." -- Whitney Houston tries to get the Birmingham, UK, crowd back…

With the release of the Coachella lineup, it's time to start thinking about your festival schedule, and clearly your look for the season. Since Bonnaroo and Coachella are THE places to not only wear Hunters and leather fringe but also to show off your inspiring fashion sense, you'll need to start planning your outfits, like,…

Lilith Fair, the female-centric music festival that toured from 1997 through 1999, is staging a comeback this summer, and many of this year's performers have been announced. The women who took to the stage in the '90s represented a number of genres, but a heck of a lot of them made folk music…

It's not often that I agree with John Mayer, but even I have to admit he had a point when he tweeted: "If you're shocked that Britney was lip-syncing at her concert and want your money back, life may continue to be hard for you." You see, Britney Spears is on the Australia-leg…

Beyonce has postponed an Oct. 25 performance in Malaysia after Muslim conservatives in that country accused her show of being "immoral." The Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, Malaysia's largest opposition group, has called for the cancellation of the show because they say it would promote "Western sexy performances." A statement released by Marctensia entertainment company say…

A portion of Madonna's “Sticky and Sweet” stage collapsed during a performance the singer gave today in France. Seven people were injured and at least one is dead. [People] -- Guess it wasn't such a "sweet" performance, after all. Sorry, that wasn't funny. Ivanka Trump and long-time boyfriend Jared Kushner got engaged yesterday…

Fifty thousand angry people booed and hissed at a concert in Manchester on Saturday when Lady Gaga, who was supposed to be performing to support the band Take That, decided to skip out. Is there anybody else reading this who has never heard of Take That? Well, regardless, I'm sure most of you have heard…

I hate when I buy concert tickets and the price of the ticket is practically doubled by excessive charges and fees. Well, tomorrow—that's June 3rd, people—I’ll be able to dry my tears. To appease frustrated fans, LiveNation.com is nixing all service fees tomorrow for any tickets bought to amphitheater shows. “No Service Fee Wednesday” begi…

Simply Irresistible

Taking a page out of those girls you went to high school with who can't stop smugly posting every detail of their perfect lives on Facebook, Lady Gaga shaded America's youngest grandma Taylor Swift just perfectly on Twitter yesterday. It all started when Jaime King's unborn child's godmother tweeted about Gaga, using the preferred…

Oh look, it's hottest DILF alive, Ryan Gosling, making a rare appearance in public grabbing lunch in LA today. And what's that I see? In addition to his perfectly worn T-shirt (that collar is stretched just so), hoodie and leather jacket, the Gos is rocking a few faint letters on his knuckles, spelling out the…
